#MosaicMonday takes us into a corridor with linear #fresco decoration and an intact geometric #mosaic floor, c. 150 CE, in the stupendous #VilladeiQuintili along the #Appia south of #Rome. The villa was the cause of its builders' death: #Commodus had them killed and took it.
The corridors where emperors snuck into the arena are now open to all — dive into Rome’s hidden history. 🏺 #Colosseum #Commodus #Rome #History #Archaeology https://t.co/akuGA96btR

Republican cautionary tales / moral stories:
Emp #Commodus is the only Roman Emperor who really tops the infamy of Caligula or Nero. His life story is another Roman historical wives' tale about the dangers of Monarchy, like Caligula's life, but hereditary monarchy in particular.
The Roman Empire #Crispina, wife of #Commodus
Bruttia Crispina was the daughter of Gaius Bruttius Praesens, an influential Roman nobleman from Lucania. Her marriage to the teenaged Commodus was arranged in AD 178 by his father, Marcus Aurelius, to shore up support among the Roman gentry.
Her inability to produce an heir led Commodus to tire of her; accordingly, she was charged with adultery and banished to the island of Capri in AD 188, where she was later executed.
It is sometimes asserted she died much earlier in the reign, after the conspiracy of Lucilla in AD 182, but this is due to a faulty reading of the main sources for the era, the Historia Augusta and Cassius Dio. Indeed, inscriptions record her as still being empress in the late AD 180s.
🪷 31 Dec 192 AD #Commodus was strangled to death by his wrestling mate Narcissus at the baths. So ended #Hadrian's #Antonine Dynasty. #ChristopherPlummer starred in #falloftheromanempire. The Rome Forum movie set was built on a plain in Spain. Watch: https://t.co/8qCcol3IWv 🪷
The full-scale recreation of the Roman Forum built for the filming of ‘The Fall of the Roman Empire’ (1964). Constructed in Las Matas near Madrid, it was the largest outdoor film set in history at that time, at 92,000 m2 (23 acres). No matte paintings were used to extend the set.
Happy 25th anniversary to the #RidleyScott classic #Gladiator. The antagonist, #Commodus, is a despicable villain. He killed his dad to become emperor, wanted an heir via incest & cheated before fighting Maximus. #cinema #JoaquinPhoenix @missnotyou @brutalpuncher1 @orcatwar98
